Introduction
Osteosarcoma:
History:
8 year old Rottweiller with sudden onset of forelimb lameness.
Radiography revealed a small lytic lesion in the glenoid cavity of the
scapula. The lameness became more severe and the dog was euthanised.
On gross pathology, a section through the glenoid cavity of the scapula
revealed a 1 x 1.5 cm area of pallor in the subcortical bone, surrounded
by a thin rim of haemorrhage.
